The agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. struggle to find Coulson and terrible secrets are exposed in a new preview for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 1, episode 11.
After last night’s explosive fall finale, fans of em>Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. were left gasping for more information on the fate of our beloved agents. Luckily, a promo featuring footage from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 1, episode 11 aired just after “The Bridge,” giving fans a nice amount of information on which to speculate.
The juicy new preview begins with a brief recap of last night’s episode, ensuring that viewers are good and traumatized before moving on with the new material. Among the flashes of new footage are shots of a high-level agent returning, the team fighting (literally) to remain together, FitzSimmons taking a risk, and Skye embracing her inner punk-rock spirit.
As the promo continues, the attention shifts to Coulson, and the terrible secrets being kept from him.
Agent Victoria Hand (first introduced in “The Hub”) will most likely play a significant role in the episode, as Coulson’s team struggles to find their feet without their dad fearless leader. It doesn’t seem like the team will have much patience for Hand’s cold and practical attitude, though, and consider rescuing Coulson to be their top priority.
To that end, it looks like the crew will be making some pretty risky moves. May and Ward seem to be involved in more than one incredibly intense scrap with bad guys, and Skye goes out into the field decked out in some serious leather. And when Fitz, of all people, tells Simmons to “embrace change,” you just know how high the stakes must be.
Though Coulson’s reappearance back on the Bus indicates that the retrieval mission will be successful (though this could be part of a flashback sequence or other bait-and-switch) it seems that there will be more than one mystery buzzing through Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 1, episode 11. In the promo, the team receives an ominous warning about a girl (presumably Skye, because everything is about Skye) who is followed by death, and May warns Coulson never to tell Skye some as-yet-unknown crucial information.
The conclusion of the promo is perhaps most exciting, as it focuses on the mystery of Coulson’s resurrection. Though the mechanics are unclear, it’s evident that the ordeal will be punishing for Coulson (not least because Raina is hanging around) and will potentially involve flashbacks. “Please,” Coulson cries as the preview ends, “I’m begging you, just let me die.”
Don’t you dare, Phil. Don’t you dare!
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 1, episode 11 will air on Jan. 7 at 8:00 p.m. on ABC.
